Tomodachi Life: Nintendo apologizes

A followup to an earlier post I did this week about Nintendo’s video game Tomodachi Life: You may recall that Nintendo was under fire for not including a same-sex option in the game.

On Friday, the Guardian is reporting, Nintendo apologized and promised to be more inclusive with future games. It seems they can’t do anything about the oversight in this version of Tomodachi Life, though.

So, file this under Live and Learn. Kudos to the young gentleman who spearheaded the campaign that drew attention to the oversight, and kudos to Nintendo for recognizing the problem and responding to it positively.
